*****

2020 Audi SQ8 delivers powerful V8 performance and bold road presence
2020 Audi SQ8 4.0 TFSI® V8 engine generates up to 500 horsepower and
568 lb-ft of torque
Twin-turbo V8 can propel SQ8 from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds
Bold design further accentuated by S model design elements

HERNDON, Va., March 5, 2020 – The 2020 Audi SQ8 offers the perfect
balance of SUV functionality and emotional design with exceptional S
model performance. The SQ8 carries an all-new engine for the U.S.
market, a 4.0-liter TFSI® V8, capable of producing 500 horsepower and
568 lb-ft of torque. The available Sport Package adds active roll
stabilization and a quattro® sport differential, along with red brake
calipers, to further enhance driving dynamics.

Balanced performance

New for the U.S. market, the 4.0-liter TFSI® twin-turbo V8 engine is
capable of generating up to 500 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque,
enabling it to sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.

The twin-turbocharged SUV routes power via an eight-speed Tiptronic®
automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels via Audi’s
quattro® all-wheel drive.

The SQ8 offers available active roll stabilization, using the
vehicle’s 48V electrical system to turn into corners more flatly. This
allows the SQ8 to have a comfortable ride without compromising
spirited driving dynamics.

Standard all-wheel steering turns the front and rear wheels in the
opposite directions to reduce the vehicle’s turning circle and turns
them the same direction at highway speeds for enhanced stability.

The SQ8 is equipped with standard quattro® all-wheel drive, offering
high-precision handling through active torque distribution to both
axles. In regular driving situations, the quattro® all-wheel-drive
system delivers 60 percent of the torque to the rear axle and 40
percent to the front.

Offered as part of the SQ8 Sport Package, the quattro® sport
differential offers a dynamic driving experience and enhances
cornering agility by actively splitting torque between each of the
rear wheels, with the ability to direct nearly all torque to one
wheel.


Inspired design

Paying homage to the Audi Sport quattro coupe of the 1980s, the design
language of the SQ8 is highlighted by pronounced wheel arches and
gently inclined C-pillars. The light strip that comprises the rear LED
tail light signature is also reminiscent of cues from the original
sports coupe.

The SQ8 exemplifies today’s Audi SUV design language with a muscular
octagonal Singleframe® grille, standard LED headlights and frameless
doors.

The SQ8 features a unique rear diffuser with quad exhaust outlets.

In the U.S., Alu-optic design elements are offered for the first time
around the grille as well as the mirror caps, signifying an S model.
Standard equipment wheels are 21-inch, 10-V-spoke S-design with
all-season tires.

The available Black-optic Package includes 22-inch Audi Sport
5-V-spoke anthracite wheels with all-season tires, black exterior
accents that complement the mirror caps, roof rails and Singleframe®
grille.

The SQ8 comes standard LED headlights with LED taillights and dynamic
turn signals or can be equipped with available HD Matrix-design LED
headlights with full LED taillights. When equipped with the available
HD-Matrix design headlights, fast-moving light animations play in the
headlights and taillights when the vehicle is locked and unlocked.


Driver-focused interior, comfort for five

The dashboard in the SQ8 is angled toward the driver, creating a
driver-centric cockpit. The three dimensional architecture around the
MMI® touch response system includes an air vent strip that spans the
width of the dashboard, underlined by black panel elements and nearly
uninterrupted inlays.

In the dark, the multicolor contour lights trace the design lines of
the interior and provides backlight for the quattro badge above the
glove compartment.

The SQ8 features a heated, 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel with
the S emblem.

The SQ8 also comes with perforated, heated and ventilated Valcona
leather S sport seats with diamond stitching.
Available features include extended leather, massaging front seats
functions and heated rear seats.

Available interior leather colors include black, Rotor Gray and Arras
Red.

Oak high-gloss wood and Carbon Vector interior trims.

The SQ8 has standard seating for five passengers, with generous space
in the rear. Cargo space is further enhanced by sliding, split-folding
40/20/40 rear seatbacks with adjustable recline.


Four-zone automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof and interior
lighting package come as standard equipment.

display offers HD resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. The virtual cockpit
helps enhance the infotainment and navigating experience through the

subscription) supported with 4G LTE (where available).

The MMI® touch response system is displayed over two large,
high-resolution touch displays (10.1” top, 8.6” bottom) that are used
for navigation functions in addition to the lower display’s controls
for climate control, comfort and convenience functions and for natural
handwriting input with whole-word recognition.

The SQ8 offers passengers an available Wi-Fi hotspot (requires
subscription), natural voice control and an extensive Audi connect®
portfolio. With an active Audi connect® subscription, functions such
as parking information, weather updates and Yelp® review highlights
are now integrated within the MMI® touch response system and can be
accessed through their own icons.

Infotainment features such as internet radio streaming and Amazon
Music (subscription required) are also accessible via the MMI® touch
response system via the Audi connect® mobile app.

vehicle’s antenna and can charge the phone inductively.

can initiate braking if the vehicle detects a potential collision.

Standard Top view camera system (front, rear and side views) with

outside of the vehicle to project a virtual real-time 3D model of the
SQ8, allowing the driver to toggle around the vehicle and zoom in and
out to help with maneuvering in tight spaces.

Available Intersection assist helps monitor cross traffic when pulling
through an intersection or crossing lanes and can help notify the
driver of a potentially hazardous situation by applying the brakes at
